Sona Visual Named a Top Choice Award Winner: What It Means and Why It Matters

We’re proud to share that Sona Visual has been recognized as a Top Choice Award winner in Calgary.

Awards are easy to announce, but this one means something different. The Top Choice Awards aren’t decided by judges behind closed doors or pay-to-play submissions. They’re earned through real feedback, real votes, and real experiences from people who actually work with you.

For us, this recognition reflects something deeper than a trophy. It represents the standards we hold ourselves to, the way our team shows up on site, and the experience we create for every client we work with.

What Is the Top Choice Award?

The Top Choice Awards are built around one simple idea: businesses should be recognized based on trust and experience, not marketing budgets.

Top Choice uses a multi-step process that includes:

• Open public nominations

• Verified customer voting

• Quality and reputation analysis

• Consistency of service and customer satisfaction

In short, companies don’t “apply” their way to the top. They earn it by doing excellent work, repeatedly, for real clients.

Being named a Top Choice winner means clients consistently choose you, recommend you, and trust you with their business.

How Do You Become a Top Choice Real Estate Media Company?

In a competitive market like Calgary, the bar is high. Real estate professionals don’t have time for missed deadlines, inconsistent quality, or disorganized processes. To earn Top Choice recognition, you have to deliver excellence where it matters most.

Here’s what we believe made the difference.

The Sona Standard: Quality Without Compromise

Every shoot, every edit, and every delivery at Sona Visual follows a consistent internal standard. That standard isn’t based on trends. It’s based on outcomes.

• Images that highlight space, flow, and light accurately

• Video that feels cinematic but still serves the listing

• Clean, professional edits that elevate the property without misrepresentation

• Media that works across MLS, websites, social media, ads, and award submissions

Our goal is simple: deliver visuals that make properties stand out while still feeling honest and timeless.

The Sona Experience: How We Show Up on Site

A big part of real estate media happens before the camera ever comes out.

Our photographers and videographers are trained to:

• Be punctual, prepared, and respectful on site

• Communicate clearly with homeowners, builders, and site managers

• Work efficiently without disrupting showings or construction schedules

• Adapt creatively to each property, rather than relying on templates

That on-site experience matters. It reflects directly on our clients’ brands, not just ours.

Client Experience Is Not an Afterthought

Many companies focus on output. We focus on experience.

From booking to delivery, we’ve invested heavily in systems that make working with us easy:

• Intuitive booking and project management

• Clear expectations and timelines

• Consistent communication

• Reliable turnaround times

• Support when things change (because real estate always does)

Top Choice recognition doesn’t come from one great project. It comes from hundreds of smooth, dependable experiences over time.

A Team-Driven Win

This award isn’t about one person. It belongs to our entire team.

From photographers and editors to operations, admin, and leadership, every role contributes to the final experience a client has with Sona Visual. The consistency our clients rely on is the result of systems, training, accountability, and a shared commitment to doing things properly.

We believe great creative work only happens when it’s supported by strong operations.

Why This Matters for Our Clients

For real estate agents, builders, developers, and property-based businesses, choosing a media partner is a trust decision.

Top Choice recognition offers reassurance that:

• You’re working with a company trusted by others in your market

• Quality and professionalism aren’t inconsistent or accidental

• The experience will match the promise

• The team understands the pace and pressure of real estate

It’s not about awards for the sake of awards. It’s about confidence.

Looking Ahead

We’re incredibly grateful to our clients, partners, and community for their trust and support. This recognition reinforces what we’ve believed from day one: if you focus on people, process, and quality, the results follow.

As we continue to grow across Calgary and beyond, the Sona Standard and the Sona Experience remain non-negotiable.

Thank you for choosing us, voting for us, and pushing us to be better every year.
